The Perfect Storm (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 18 -- No One Puts Elsa In The Corner

Liam's P.O.V.

“Guys, don't you think Elsa's been gone for a while?” I asked as were enjoying some snacks. Niall and Amelia had left to go off on some stupid date and Elsa had been gone for a while.

“Ya she has. We should go look for her.” Harry suggested.

“Alright let's split up.” I said and we all went off in different directions.

Ten minutes later we all met back up at our beach spot.

“Did anyone find her?” I asked. All three boys shook their heads and I got a sickly feeling in my stomach.

“Lads, we're stupid. We didn't check the penthouse.” Louis said.

“Duh, she must be there.” I said. The four of us then sprinted back to the hotel and up to our penthouse. When we reached inside, we saw Elsa's bag laying on the couch and her shoes on the mat.

“Elsa?” Zayn hollered and that's when we heard weeping. We all turned to the left and that's when we saw her huddled up in the corner crying.

“Elsa! What's wrong?” Louis asked and rushed to her side. He grabbed on to her and pulled her to her feet. We all let out a gasp when we saw the massive bruise on her cheek and black eye.

“Els, what happened?” Zayn asked.

“Ask Niall's girlfriend.” she whimpered.

“No one puts Elsa in a corner.” Zayn said and pulled her to him. Harry came back from the kitchen and handed an icepack to Elsa.

“What happened to your arm?” I asked.

“Amelia decided to stick her claws into my arm.” she explained.

“Els, we're so sorry. We're going to make her leave.” Harry said. Elsa then started crying more and Zayn wrapped her up in his arms.

“I just want things to go back to normal. Maybe the normal before Niall and I started dating.” she sobbed. “Actually, I just want my boyfriend back.”

Zayn, Niall, Louis, and I all looked at each other and we felt how broken she was. She really loved Niall and he didn't even give a damn about her.

“We know Els, but he's douche. Do you really want someone like that?” I asked.

She shook her head and sighed.

“Guys please don't say anything to Niall about this. Right now, I just need to sleep.” she said and maneuvered her way out of Zayn's arms and ran to her room.

“What are we gonna do guys?” Harry asked.

“We're going to get them together again.” Louis said.

“No, she's not going back to him. I'm not gonna let Niall hurt Elsa again.” Zayn said.

“Zayn do you not see it? They love each other. It may not be as noticeable with Niall, but he does.” I said. “She's miserable without him.”

Suddenly we all heard guitar strumming and singing.

“Baby, don't cry, I know you're trying your hardest. And the hardest part is letting go ff the nights we shared. Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting, but compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright. And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so." she started.

"Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know she's there and). You're probably hanging out and making eyes (while across the room, she stares). I'll bet she gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my love to dance, and he'll say yes. Because these words were never easier for me to say or him to second guess, but I guess. That I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable at best.”

"You're all that I hoped I'd find in every single way. And everything I could give is everything you couldn't take. Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away. And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay. Because I know I'm good for something I just haven't found it yet but I need it.”

"So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know she's there and). You're probably hanging out and making eyes (while across the room, she stares). I'll bet she has the nerve to walk the floor and ask my love to dance, and he'll say yes. Because these words were never easier for me to say or him to second guess, but I guess that I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable at best.” she sang.

"Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh. And this will be the first time in a week that I'll talk to you and I can't speak. It's been three whole days since I've had sleep. Because I dream of her lips on your cheek. And I got the point that I should leave you alone but we both know that I'm not that strong. And I miss the lips that made me fly. So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know she's there and) you're probably hanging out and making eyes (while across the room, she stares). I'll bet she has the nerve to walk the floor and ask my love to dance, and he'll say yes.” she sang.

"Because these words were never easier for me to say or him to second guess. But I guess that I can live without you but, without you I'll be miserable. And I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable. And I can live without you. Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best.” she sang.

“Guys, she needs him.” Zayn spoke up.

“What? You actually agree?” I asked.

“Do you hear how sad she is?” he asked.

“You're right. Good thing I recorded it. Niall needs to see this.” Harry said.

Elsa's P.O.V

As the boys were surronding me, I instantly ran into my room and to clear my mind I decided to sing and play my guitar.

“Baby, don't cry, I know you're trying your hardest. And the hardest part is letting go ff the nights we shared. Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting, but compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright. And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so." I sang and then cleared my throat.

"Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know she's there and). You're probably hanging out and making eyes (while across the room, she stares). I'll bet she gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my love to dance, and he'll say yes. Because these words were never easier for me to say or him to second guess, but I guess. That I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable at best.” I sang as the tears fell down my cheek.

"You're all that I hoped I'd find in every single way. And everything I could give is everything you couldn't take. Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away. And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay. Because I know I'm good for something I just haven't found it yet but I need it.” I sang.
